Sydney man to undergo de-radicalisation program after pleading guilty to planning terror attack

A court and Army Barracks in Sydney’s West have been identified as the targets of a teenager who has pleaded guilty to terror offences.

Tamim Khaja, 20, stood up in the Supreme Court at Parramatta and entered the guilty plea on what was supposed to be the first day of his trial.

The former Epping High student agreed he conducted a reconnaissance of potential targets in May 2016 which were the Sydney West Trial Courts in Parramatta where he appeared today and the Timor Barracks in Dundas a short distance away.
